EDITOR'S NOTE:
REMEMBER THE MOVIE "STALAG 13"? THEY HAD AN ENEMY PLANTED IN AMONG THE PRISONERS, PRETENDING TO BE AN AMERICAN. WHEN THEY THOUGHT THAT THE SARGENT WAS SELLING THEM OUT, THEY BEAT THE HECK OUT OF HIM. BUT HE TOLD THEM:
"THE INFILTRATOR WAS THE ONE PUNCHING THE HARDEST"!
IT WILL BE THE SAME HERE. GEORGE BUSH HAS BEEN IN BED WITH THE COMMUNISTS SO LONG AND SO DEEPLY THAT HE'S PROBABLY 8 1/2 MONTHS PREGNANT BY THEM. AND FOR HIM TO ACTUALLY HIDE OUT IN FLORIDA WHILE THE ATTACKS HAPPENED SHOWS HIS LEVEL OF "SELLOUTNESS".
I GUESS THAT MANY OF YOU BY NOW HAVE FIGURED OUT THAT THE REAL ATTACK WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE PLACE ON SEPT 10th. BUT FOR SOME REASON, IT WAS PUT ON HOLD ONE DAY. HERES WHAT THE FACTS ARE:
I KNEW THAT THE BUSH CREW WAS GOING TO TRY "SOMETHING" BETWEEN SEPT 1st AND 14th
BECUASE I WAS PRESSURING THEM WITH EXPOSING THE CRIME SPREE. NO, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WOULD BE, BUT I KNEW THEY WOULDN'T JUST SIT BY AND WATCH THEIR ADMINISTRATION CRUMBLE. I HAD BEEN WORKING ON
"AN OPEN LETTER TO AL GORE"
WHICH WAS PART OF MY OTHER WEBSITE. I WAS PLANNING ON DELIVERING IT TO THE FOOTBALL FANS FROM TENNESSEE ATTENDING THE SEPT 1, 2001 GAME BETWEEN THE UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH AND EAST TENNESSEE STATE UNIVERSITY
(A FACT THAT ALL CAN VERIFY)
BUT THERE WERE THOUSANDS OF FANS WHO WERE LEFT OUTSIDE THE STADIUM, BECAUSE THEY ONLY HAD 4 TICKET WINDOWS OPEN. BY THE TIME THE CROWD HAD GOTTEN TICKETS, THE GAME WAS ALMOST OVER. IT WAS THE FIRST GAME IN THE NEW STADIUM, AND MANY WALK-UPS WERE THERE FOR THE HISTORIC NATURE OF THE EVENT. SINCE I WAS AFTER A "TARGETED CROWD", AND FIGURED THAT THEY WOULD BE AMONG THE FIRST ONES TO LEAVE, I JUST PUT MY PLANS ON HOLD, AND WOULD WAIT UNTIL PITT'S NEXT GAME AGAINST UAB ON SEPT 14th. AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I PUT ON MY WEBSITE.
THE BUSH CREW KNEW THAT I WAS SERIOUS.
SEPT 11, 2001
I HAD NO IDEA OF ANY ATTACKS HAPPENING AS I WENT ABOUT MY DAY. I HADN'T WATCHED THE NEWS, OR LISTENED TO THE RADIO AT ALL THAT DAY. SO, AS I NORMALLY DID, I WENT TO THE PUBLIC LIBRARY TO USE THE COMPUTER AT ABOUT 3:30 PM. THEY ONLY HAD TWO COMPUTERS THAT WERE ABLE TO DO WEBSITES, AND BOTH OF THEM WERE BEING USED. SO I WENT TO THE NEWSPAPER ROOM TO LOOK AT THE DAILY PAPER. ON THE BACK PAGE OF THE FIRST SECTION, THERE WAS A PICTURE OF BUSH AT A SCHOOL IN FLORIDA. THE PICTURE HAD BEEN TAKEN ON MONDAY SEPT 10, 2001. I REMEMBER THINKING "WHAT'S AN IDIOT THAT CAN'T SPELL "SCHOOL" DOING AT ONE?" BUT THAT WAS THE END OF IT. I LOOKED AT THE SPORTS SECTION AND COMICS THEN WENT BACK TO SEE IF ONE OF THE COMPUTERS WAS FREE TO USE. THERE WAS ONE OPEN. I SAT DOWN, AND WAS ABOUT TO START TYPING, WHEN I GLANCED AT THE GUY NEXT TO ME, AND SAW THE REPORT THAT THE WORLD TRADE CENTER HAD COLLAPSED. I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS ONE OF THOSE GAG SITES LIKE "ONION.COM". SADLY, IT WASN'T. IT WAS EXACTLY 4:00PM WHEN I WENT TO CNN.COM AND READ THE REPORTS FOR MYSELF. KNOWING THAT THE BUSH CREW WAS GOING TO TRY SOMETHING, I WAS NATURALLY SUSPICIOUS. THEN I SAW THAT BUSH WAS STILL IN FLORIDA WHEN THE ATTACKS HAPPENED. THAT WAS THE STRANGEST PART. DURING ALL OF THE CAMPAIGN IN 1999/2000, BUSH NEVER STAYED IN ANY ONE PLACE FOR MORE THAN A FEW HOURS (CHECK THOSE FACTS, ROSIE!) BUT HERE HE WAS, STILL IN FLORIDA, AND TO MAKE IT SO BAD, HE WAS STILL HIDING OUT AT A SCHOOL. JUST HOW MUCH READING CAN HE BE DOING? MY MIND WAS TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY. I KNEW THEY NEEDED A COVER, BUT DAMN...THAT WAS WAY TOO MUCH COVER.
THEY CLOSED THE LIBRARY EARLY, SO I NEVER GOT TO PUT ANYTHING UP THAT DAY. LIKE MOST OF THE WORLD, I JUST WATCHED THE TV COVERAGE OF THE UNFOLDING EVENTS. THE MOST "TELLING" THING THAT I NOTICED WAS WHEN BUSH GOT BACK TO THE WHITEHOUSE. NOW, WE ALL KNOW THAT HE'S "FAMOUS" FOR TWO BODY CHARACTERISTICS, WHICH NO EDITORIAL CARTOONIST CAN HELP BUT MAKE PROMINENT IN ANY SATERICAL CARTOON:
THOSE EARS...AND THOSE LINES ON HIS FOREHEAD.
BUT WHEN HE GOT BACK TO THE WHITEHOUSE, THERE WERE NO FOREHEAD LINES
(HEY, GO CHECK THE VIDEOTAPE)
THE ONLY LOOK ON HIS FACE WAS A LOOK OF DEJECTION, LIKE THE JOB WASN'T FINISHED LIKE HE WANTED/NEEDED. I WATCHED THE "SIGNS" AND SURE ENOUGH, HE THOUGHT THAT HE HAD THE COVER HE NEEDED. I WENT STRAIGHT TO THE LIBRARY, AND PUT THE FACTS UP.
NEXT THING YOU KNOW...WE GET HOMELAND SECURITY DIRECTOR TOM RIDGE!
